Is a graphics card required w/ this processor or is it built in? I don't plan to play many games. maybe just watch DVDs &amp; occasional light gaming.

This is just a quad-core AMD CPU. No video processor is built into it. You'll need a separate video card.

this has the intel graphics card. Not sure why they didn't use a dedicated card but I read something about due to the configuration?!?! .. doesn't really make sense but this pc is solid even w the Intel card.

In short no - The chip has built in video. At least the LGA1155 socket MB's, I've seen have either a VGA or DVI or HDMI socket built in. No graphics card needed.

Intel Graphics info is correct. It does not have a separate graphics card as far as I remember.

Even if you don't do games, it doesn't take much of a card to drive it. UHD is no big for a graphics card to push around for basic desktop stuff.My GTX670 handles video scaling on it fine too. I can use high quality upscaling with MPC for video and it runs fine. Even for many games, it surprisingly, drives them fine, although the newest games of the last couple years that really push things might have some trouble if you try to drive them at UHD.

No. The processor is pretty good, but you would have to upgrade the video card. Preferably, you would have a GeForce GTX 650 with 2 GB.

It has an i5 processor,probably an i7 processor would be better for gaming. Also, it come with 6 GB memory, but the memory is can be easily upgraded via the back panel. For my needs, it is a perfect PC for me, love the huge screen!

Some of the models have video built onto the mainboard and some don't. You will have to check the specs on the exact model of your interest. Check to see if the specs include a video out connector; e.g., VGA, DVI etc. If no video is built in, you will need a video card. Additionally, you will need a CPU, RAM, hard drive, and DVD drive if desired.

James, if you are not running any mmorpg games, go with the bare minimum. I built mine with a 3.2 ghz dual core Pentium, 6 gig ddr RAM, 500 Gb hd, and NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT video.

That processor does not have integrated graphics. you need this one: AMD A6-6400K Richland 3.9GHz Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor AMD Radeon HD AD640KOKHLBOX

Yes. As for graphics card, this model doesn't have a standalone graphics card since it has Intel HD graphics, but you can add a card if you wish.

Ill be honest with you, the processor is great but i still cant find the way to put it into the new Dual Graphics System (Graphics Card +Gpu from APU) but i got 2 r9 270x in crossfire so i dont need it very much.But answering your question about if getting or not an A10 APU ill tell you, go for a FX instead, because if you got a graphics card dedicated you wont need the Apu GPU at all...

Absolutely not. If you want to run those sort of games then you will either need to build yourself a computer for about $800 (which includes peripherals and a monitor) or buy one of the $1000+ computers. If you were to get this computer, then you would need to immediately upgrade the graphics card. And if you upgrade the graphics card, then your computer will only be as fast as the slowest component which would be your processor. This processor is a quad core processor, but it is slow for its class.

It is dual core BUT not the fastest CPU architecture. You can upgrade to 8G RAM if you need it. The catch: It does not have a dedicated video card intended for gaming. Videos (movies) OK, but I think you need much more power for gaming.I don't do gaming. The fact that other purchasers have not replied to your question, suggests that there are few to no gamers on this type of device (or they don't bother to read the questions here). If gaming is your application, then look for suggestions on web sites devoted to gamers.

This processor will require a separate discrete graphics card, unless your motherboard has on-board video. Consult you motherboard manual if you aren't certain

Hi John. This computer could be a decent gaming machine if you do the following. Add a 64 bit OS to it. Then add like 8GB of ram. Now your talking! However your card with an i5 or i7. Is insane dual core processors vs quad cores for gaming will produce a lot more frames per seconds. I hope that helped and sorry for the typos.

Although it has an integrated video chip. It would be wise to install a dedicated video card for smoother visuals when watching videos or browsing the web. What kind of video card needed depends on what you plan on doing.
